Make
a list of 26 words.; the first starting with the
letter A, the second, with the letter B and so on to Z. In the
beginning use simple words. The one to lead the game is usually the one
who made the list. No one making a list can play the round where his list is
used. The others need to be ignorant of the list of words. Make up teams
according to the number of players (maximum 5 or 6 per team). Each team is the
assigned a room or location to mime the words. The game leader needs to be
placed at approximately the same distance form each team. This is important to
not give advantage to one team as it is a speed game. Each team goes to its
quarters and selects a starting player and then sends him to the game leader. When
everyone is ready the game leader simultaneously reveals, while carefully
hiding all the other words, the first word (starting with A) to all the team
starters who then rush back to their respective team and mime the word starting
with A. No talking is allowed for the one miming . When a team has found the
word, they rush one player (other than the one who mimed) to the game leader
and he whispers the word into the leader's ear (for
example APPLE). If the word is correct, the leader gives the next word (in this
case now starting with B) and this players return to his team to mime it, and so on;
however, if the word is incorrect then the player returns to his team as the
one who mimed it needs to get it straight before the team can progress. Care is
needed not to give clues to the other teams. The first team to whisper the Z
word correctly into the leaders ear wins. To play the
next game just have someone make up another list and have them
lead that round themselves. Easy words make for fun rush competitions for all
while harder words make for real interesting higher level competitions.
